Not a knock on you , but something I absolutely know from personal experience. I have blown a motor, had extensive fuel problems and had to be humbled.
A few posts back I gave you my set boost percentage of 24% to reach 9psi so that should have told you yours was way out of range. I also had a problem with fuel that probably had Seb wanting to slap me. Wasn't exactly my fault but in the end it was because I did my return system myself the first time and it was perfect. When I paid someone they screwed it up to the point it was so stupid it had me on the phone with Charles at 10pm. The problem was that they plumbed the whole system wrong. (Who caps a fitting on a damned bank 2 fuel rail!?!?!) The result of that was what you described, afrs going lean at WOT. In the end I had to actually explain to the people I paid to do the work how to do the work. Even then I have at least one more issue to have fixed after I'm done tuning.
Whatever happens I can guarantee you that taking it to a competent shop to clean things up is at a minimum 90% less expensive than having a glitter party in your oil pan. I've been to one and I promise it's a numbing experience about as exciting as a prostate exam.
Do what you want but now you can't ever say nobody told you.

He won’t listen. That has been suggested by several of us already.

When did I say I won't listen?

I just attempted something that somebody else mentioned to me in this exact same thread, i.e. keep increasing the duty cycle on the EBC.

I tried that. So my next step, is taking it to another reputable shop. I Just haven't got around to it yet. Its easy for you guys because you have reputable Z shops around every corner yeah? I live in a place where we have 0 in the whole state. I have to be careful where I take it, otherwise these things might continue happening.

We're mostly cranky, old guys around here - with little patience and hair triggers. Heed the good advice and ignore the rest.
